Russian technologies in the field of communications do not stand still. Moreover, they ambitiously declare themselves in the world market. The company Yota Devices at the last representative consumer electronics exhibition CES-2013 introduced the general public YotaPhone (Jetafon). This is a completely new Russian smartphone with an original design, a rich set of functions, as well as two large screens and capable of working in LTE networks, that is, new generation networks.
No one believed
How was the first Russian smartphone “born”? The project was conceived in 2010. It was then that for the first time Dmitry Medvedev was shown the layout of the future of a Russian mobile device. It was a very interesting innovative project of the Scartel company, and Yota Devices will come out of it in the future. At that time, no one fully believed that in two years the first Russian smartphones would appear on the court of the world public. Yes, they’ll not just stand somewhere on the sidelines, but they will be in the center of attention of critics and will rightfully become winners of the nomination “Mobile Devices”, leaving behind the favorite of that day - Xperia Z.
Even the leaders got around
What is so hooked in this device? Is the Russian smartphone with two screens loved only for the design? First things first. Perhaps no one will deny that Russian developers in the field of communications have always had interesting thoughts and ideas. However, the matter did not always reach the beginning of mass production. In the case of the Etaphone everything worked out in the best way. Russian smartphones have managed to get ahead of even the traditional leaders of the mobile world. The fact that the phone has two screens is not a know-how. But the presence of an electronic ink display is something special. In addition, the device is able to work in conditions of all known high-speed cellular networks, both in Russia and in the world.
Lots of useful features
Russian smartphones from YotaPhone are able to carry out their work on the basis of Android (Jelly Bean 4.2). The processor is "charged" with 2 GB of RAM. However, the built-in memory did not disappoint. It is no worse than that of similar instances - 32/64 GB. Among other things, the "beginner" was equipped with a pair of cameras and the ability to support LTE, 3G and GSM standards. By the way, with all this, Russian smartphones organically combine an e-reader at the same time. The screen, located on the back of the device, using the "electronic ink" system, is able to work continuously. In this case, the display consumes a minimum of energy. Due to this, the battery of the mobile device lasts a very long time. As already mentioned, the design was pleasantly struck. It looks original, functional and at the same time quite compact. The public is skeptical of Russian creation. He is perceived more as a kind of momentary fashion trend, which will soon pass, giving way to the real sharks of the mobile world - Nokia, Samsung and Iphone. However, the inclinations of the Russian mobile device are good, so let's not rush to conclusions. Perhaps this device will be able to make a technological leap and become a trendsetter in the world of smart phones. But will it be so - time will tell.
